Relating to both the brain and the meninges, the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.
From Latin cerebrum (brain) + meninges (Greek meninx, meaning membrane) + -al (relating to). This term bridges two anatomically connected structures.
The cerebromeningeal space is where cerebrospinal fluid flows, cushioning the brain like a liquid shock absorber—when the meninges get infected, that protective fluid becomes the disease vector, spreading infection directly to the brain.
